"There are men, in all ages, who mean to exercise power usefully; but who mean to exercise it. They mean to govern well; but they mean to govern. They promise to be kind masters; but they mean to be masters." Daniel Webster

RIP Bert Sugar
Most people today, if they knew him at all, probably just knew him as the guy with the hat. But when he was editor of The Ring and Boxing Illustrated they were generally regarded as two of the best sports magazines ever.
But before he got into journalism, he was one of the top advertising men in New York, creating ads for some of America's biggest companies.
And before that, he earned an MBA and a law degree from the University of Maryland was an attorney.

When the United States Was Multilingual
Good post from Lew Rockwell's site. People today just don't realize how recent a relatively uniform single American culture really is or how vast regional differences once were.

"A Career-Killing Movie"
I've read several stories that report Hollywood insiders are saying that about Eddie Murphy's new film. Really? The man's career survived "A Vampire in Brooklyn," "The Adventures of Pluto Nash," "Norbert" and a transvestite streetwalker. How bad can this film be if it's the thing that ends it?

The Shanghai Gesture
Weird but fun movie. God example of how the motion picture production code could actually make a film better. The stage play it was based on was set in a brothel. The movie in a gambling den. In the play, the heroine became addicted to drugs. In the movie, she became a gambling addict. The changes helped turn it from a straight-forward morality tell into an odd piece of film noir.
And a young Gene Tierney has to be in the running for the best looking woman of all time.
